Chip in for Winter Relief
This Wednesday, July 17, from 6pm, The Examiner will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with a double-movie night at the Star Theatre - and the best part is, $5 from every $30 ticket sold will go to the Winter Relief Appeal. With a goal of $75,000 this year, every dollar raised will go to St Vincent de Paul, the Benevolent Society, the Salvation Army and City Mission. The movie night will screen Apollo 11, a documentary taking viewers to the heart of NASA's moon-landing mission, and larrikin Aussie comedy the Dish, a true story about the satellite dish smack in the middle of an Aussie sheep farm that was crucial to the moon landing's success.
